We develop a general framework to study KKbar threshold phenomena with resonances f0, a0 and K+K- atom included. Based on this formalism we predict that the production of the K+K- atom in p+d=3He+X and similar reactions exhi- bits a drastic…
We report a high-statistics measurement of the relative branching fraction Br(D0 --> pi+pi-pi0)/Br(D0 --> K-pi+pi0). A 357 inverse fb data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider was used for the…
Strong interactions between pairs of the K+ K- and K0 K0bar mesons can be studied in radiative decays of phi(1020) mesons. We present a theoretical model of the reactions e+ e- --> phi --> K+ K- gamma and e+ e- --> phi --> K0 K0bar gamma.…
We present an observation and rate measurement of the decay D0 -> K+pi-pi0 produced in 9/fb of e+e- collisions near the Upsilon(4S) resonance. The signal is inconsistent with an upward fluctuation of the background by 4.9 standard…
We present a preliminary measurement of the CP asymmetry in singly Cabibbo-suppressed D+ -> K-K+\pi+ decays and in the resonant decays D+ -> \phi \pi+ and D+ -> K*0 K+. We use a data sample of 79.9 fb^{-1} recorded by the BABAR detector.…
Motivated by the new experimental information reported by the BNL--E787 Collaboration, we analyse the present impact and the future prospects opened by the measurement of $\br(K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$. Although still affected by a large…
We report an improved measurement of the partial-rate CP asymmetry in B+ => K0pi+ and B- => K0bar pi- decays. The analysis is based on a data sample of 85 million BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at…
Using 13.53/fb of CLEO data, we have measured the ratios of the branching fractions R+(e) = BF(D+ --> K*0bar e+ nu_e) / BF(D+ --> K- pi+ pi+), R+(mu) = BF(D+ --> K*0bar mu+ nu_mu) / BF(D+ --> K- pi+ pi+) and the combined branching fraction…
We report measurements of the decays B+ -> Phi Phi K+ and B0 -> hi Phi K0 using a sample of 231 million BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The…
We study the $J/\psi \to \phi K \bar K$ decay, looking for differences in the production rates of $K^+ K^-$ or $K^0 \bar K^0$ in the region of 1700-1800 MeV, where two resonances appear dynamically generated from the vector-vector…
The experimental data on $b\to c\tau\bar\nu_\tau$ and $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions exhibit sizeable discrepancies with the Standard Model expectations. We present an overview of the present status and discuss possible interpretations…
Using 232 fb-1 of e+e- collision data recorded by the BaBar experiment, we measure the ratios of three-body Cabibbo-suppressed decay rates of the D^0 meson relative to that of the Cabibbo-favored decay: B(D0 --> pi- pi+ pi0)/ B(D0 --> K-…
The recently measured direct CP asymmetries in the processes $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\to K^+K^-$ show a significant deviation from the naive Standard Model expectation. Using a general parameterization of the decay amplitudes, we show…
The perspectives of a search for the rare decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\bar{\nu}$ at a Phi-factory are discussed. After a general analysis, we focus on the realistic case of KLOE and DAFNE, showing that limits of the order of $10^{-9}$ on…
We analyze the decays $\phi \to K\bar{K}$ utilizing a formulation of transition rates which explicitly exhibits corrections to Fermi's Golden Rule. These corrections arise in systems in which the phase space and/or matrix element varies…
We discuss a potential discrepancy in an approximate relation among $B \to K \pi$ rates which, with increased statistical significance, would imply new physics in $\Delta I=1$ transitions. An approximate relation between CP-violating rate…
Including the recent preliminary results of BaBar and BELLE experiments, we update the currently allowed intervals for various CKM parameters: $\bar\rho$, $\bar\eta$, $\sin2\beta$, $\sin2\alpha$, $\sin^2\gamma$. We also update the SM…
The charge-asymmetry observed in a recent CPLEAR experiment was interpreted by the authors as a direct observation of T-noninvariance. While this is the simplest and most natural inference, and the observed effect agrees in sign and…
